The Michauxís Grant House was hit by lightening. Another house was built a couple of miles away from the
original site by Major Jacob Michaux in 1796. He named the house Hunterís Fare and his son and daughter
Dr. Joseph Michaux and Miss Elizabeth Michaux inherited the house. A small cemetery exist in the front
yard of this private property, located on the west side of Rt. 522 in Powhatan Co., VA, just south of the
James River. The cemetery can not be seen from the road. Along with the few engraved headstones, four
